Has Wilder been found out?

[Pollingtonblade]

Foxy and Linz just took a more proactive approach with Len on here and just banned the nob.

It’s not rocket science.

Are we really bringing this up again.

Its already been done to death and it depends on where you set your barometer for world class, excellent, good, average, bad, terrible and shocking.

Pull the red and white blinkers off
They are average players.
They are good players for us, at our level, whilst in League One and whilst being a mid table Championship club.
When we play to our strengths and everything is going well they look like good players, but they are not world class or excellent and never will be.

When things werent going well from November onwards in the last few months of last season Fleck showed that he is an average player, he disappeared for four months apart from an odd game here and there.

Their achievements throughout their careers has been decidedly average, outside of the Premier League and even outside the Championship.
They hit a bit of consistency in League One and carried it through to the Championship where most average players live.

As I said it depends where your own opinion of world class, excellent, good and average is

Our squad may not be world-class or even excellent but it is good.

The premier league is widely viewed as the best league in the world. If the championship is average, why do many relegated teams struggle? Because the top of the championship isn’t far off the bottom of the premier league.

Most people don’t realise that to become a pro-footballer you are in the top 1% of all academy players.

After that then factor in Sheff Utd play in the second-tier the odds become even worse. You then come to the conclusion we have some pretty darn talented boys.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in England, I believe it's 0.01%!

Not a single considered response. Fantastic. I'm not pork, by the way. Maybe I'll return to highlight this thread when my prophesies come to pass. I feel a little like Cassandra...

Go on then.

 

[DaveBassettsgoneonholiday]

Go on then.

I suppose being as his prophesies have yet still not come to pass we'll not see him/her.
I hear a reunion with Rodney is on the cards anyway so perhaps he/she's busy with that one ?
(an apt surname, bit of a giveaway).

 

[blade too long]

We now by definition have a full squad of premier league players.

Wilder has sorted that out

Not bad for someone who's easily worked out

 

[blademark]

In a way Wilder HAS been found out. We just found out he is the Manager of the year!

 

[GymClassHero]

Love it when posts like this are dug up!

 

[DifferentClass]

Wilder's not good enough for the Prem even though he hasn't managed one match there yet.

Wilder out!

 

[Fulwood Blade]

Managing in the Sunday league, or in Leagues 1 and 2, is very different to managing in the Championship. Could it be that he simply hasn't got the chops - in either man management or transfer management terms - to manage a club of our size in the second tier?

Did he think it would be as easy as making sure that everyone drinks beer together and that a great bunch of lads with team spirit would be able to hold their own?

Did he imagine that a rigid wage structure would enhance the espirit de corps, encouraging the team to become more than the sum of its parts?

Did he think that people would come to the club for the honour of playing for us?

I suspect that he's a great manager when at the helm of a club where all the players in the league are a similar standard, as he can get the best out of them by engendering an 'all for one' team spirit. However, I fear that at this level he hasn't got a clue about how to successfully manage a team, and I make two predictions: one, that he won't last the season, and two, that we'll finish lower than we did last year.

Think this post is worthy of a bit of Delia

No doubt your lack of posts is somehow connected to your inability to make correct forecasts.

Boy, was your post spectacularly wrong, so now that we're a Premiership club, what are your thoughts for the coming season?

Funnily enough, the truffle hunter never returned!

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Fair comment. Maybe we should just treat him as an idiot for stating Coutts was easily replaceable for just a couple of million? He clearly isn't aware of Coutts importance to the team prior to injury.

After criticising the club from top to bottom he's now backtracking about players and concentrating on the board.

Actually Sean, Coutts was replaced, arguably improved upon, for £1.3m.

You're wrong....again. You simply need to give us time to respond, after all, you're not the priority you might imagine you are.

You talk of prophesies, in my book of S6 translation that's just another way to say you know best. Truth is, your comments are hollow and lack substance. Why the fuck you're surprised that many on here consider you an apostle of the beloved leader is baffling?

Maybe you'll return in another couple of years, by which time life may be clearer for you.

You mean Prestonblade5 H? He seems to have been otherwise engaged since May 5th. I’m not sure if that date has any significance.

This isn't fair!
Can't we just wait until we lose a game (maybe a friendly?) and then I'll be able to find lots of other miserable twats to mention as well!

Oh, hang on a minute - Pommpey!

'kinell, there's a contagion that's spreading........mind you, it seems to have slowed due to our amazing success, and it only took two seasons with which to improve and wave goodbye to every other Championship side. I imagine there'll be a lot of squawking from the Sty, fairly predictable when you consider how they've become a mainstay of La Liga.

I’m still here, nothing much to moan about at the minute.

Just you wait until Bruce bankrupts you like every other club

 

[SUFC Guy]

Wait until we have been stuffed in the first game next season. Out of the woodwork they will flood

Which one is PiG Metcalfe anyway?

I’m not a Sheff Wed fan, I support Sheff Utd hence why I’m on a Sheff Utd forum x

They’re not totally unreasonable and they won’t complain if it’s a Manchester club that stuffs us...as long as it’s City.

As for PGM, who indeed.
